The Shape Of Things To Come #nswvotes #auspol


I was driving into Canberra this morning travelling along Canberra Avenue heading towards Fyshwick, just near the traffic lights at HMAS Harman.

On the side of the road was a trailer with big signs for Steve Whan, the ALP member for Monaro. Next to it was a sour old bloke reading the paper, he didn't seem particularly interested, nor did he look like he really gave a stuff.

Fifty metres down the road was a bigger trailer for the Nationals candidate,  John Barilaro.  In front of this colourful edifice was an excitable young woman jumping up and down holding a sign saying "Toot for change". Needless to say I tooted.

Makes you think doesn't it.  The Nationals aren't an organisation I normally associate with razzamataz. There really must be a sense of change in the air.

Looking forward to seeing how bad things will go for Labor.

  1. Admit it! It was the excitable young woman jumping up and down that made you toot not the politics!
